Answer:
what = 100n/m
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given ...
n = m% × what
You know that % is fully equivalent to /100, so this can be written as ...
n = (m/100) × what
If we want to find "what", we can multiply by the reciprocal of its coefficient. That is, multiplying by 100/m gives ...
(100/m)n = (100/m)(m/100)×what
what = 100n/m
_____
Example
13 = 20% of what . . . . . n = 13, m = 20
what = 100(13)/20 = 65
so, 13 = 20% of 65.
